Circuit breakers (40-amp and 50-amp) more
Connect the 12-volt trolling motors to a single 12-volt battery by simply fastening the black negative lead from the motor to the negative battery terminal, and the red positive lead from the trolling motor to the positive battery terminal. Include a 50-amp circuit breaker on the positive connection. here
Trolling motors are known for instantaneous, adjustable, and quiet power that offers big advantages in both maneuverability and convenience to fishermen. For the best performance from these motors, they should be connected to one or more batteries that are used exclusively for powering the motor. Trolling motors generally require 12-volt, 24-volt, or 36-volt power, and any boat owner can hook one up.
Connect the 24-volt trolling motors to two 12-volt batteries by fastening the black negative lead from the trolling motor to the negative battery terminal of one of the batteries, and the red positive lead from the trolling motor to the positive battery terminal of the other battery. Include a 40-amp circuit breaker on this positive connection. Connect a jumper wire between the positive terminal of the first battery and the negative terminal of the second battery. here
That's it, you're done. Now whenever the engine is running, the green light on the combiner will indicate when it has connected to the trolling battery to share the charge. Shortly after turning the engine off, the green light will go out indicating that the batteries are isolated so the trolling motor won't run down the starting battery. The ability of the alternator in the outboard engine to keep the trolling battery charged is dependent on the size of the alternator and how long the outboard engine is running in relation to how long the trolling motor is running.
Traditional battery isolators require you to modify the electrical wiring in your outboard to get to the alternator output. This involves extra cables to the engine and often voids your warranty. Battery isolators also have a built in voltage drop so now your starting battery and your trolling battery no longer get a full charge.
WARNING: Make sure the other red lead is not touching anything so it won't short out if the combiner turns on. here
The red light should never come on. If it does it indicates that the combiner 100 is being overloaded and has shut down to protect itself. It will reset and attempt to continue working after it cools but you should try to determine what has caused the problem. here
One may also ask, how much power does a trolling motor use? But small trolling motors usually draw about 20 amps per hour (at 12 volts).
While the Minn Kota Endura C2 30 Freshwater Transom Mounted Trolling Motor (30" Shaft) model takes 32 amps/hr to get that 30 lbs of thrust, this one can do 30 lbs of thrust for roughly 18 amps/hr. 40 to 45 lbs thrust is roughly 29 amps/hr instead of the 42 amps/hr that those respective motors draw for the same thrust.
In this way, how many amps does a 70 pound thrust trolling motor draw? more
How long will a 12v battery run a trolling motor?
Re: 1 12volt trolling motor and 2 batteries
You should put in an isolator that would allow you to run in parallel, and isolate any problems between the batteries. The voltage drop should be negligible. more
I've got a dual bank automatic charger on my boat. My group 24 cranking battery is on the first bank, and I have two identical group 27's in parallel on bank 2 for the trolling motor. All the grounds are connected together. [links]
